Have any of the government panelists considered different approaches tailored to different levels of poverty that people find themselves in? e.g. economic inclusion, sometimes referred to as the graduation approach, is more intensive and integrates cash transfers with other forms of support, (such as life skills and livelihoods training, financial inclusion, and social empowerment,) and is proven to lift up the poorest with sustained impacts. It has been pegged as a key approach for recovery and resilience among the extreme poor, who are hit hardest. Meanwhile 'lighter interventions' such as cash transfers alone may be more suitable for the ‘new poor’.
